Miao Yi had a suspicious look on his face. A rational person like Yang Qing wouldn't behave like this in a situation like this. He then asked, "Why are you in a daze?"
Yang Qing calmly replied, "Milord isn't here. My cultivation is too low, so I'm a little worried."
Miao Yi said, "Don't worry. I will accompany the Palace Lord. The other halls won't dare to do anything to us. Otherwise, they won't be able to get past the Palace Lord. Our eighteen Advisors will be here. Outsiders will have to think twice before making a move. Just take care of your own territory, and nothing will happen. "
"Your subordinate understands!" Yang Qing nodded his head in response.
After Yang Qing left, Miao Yi didn't linger in Suppressing Ninth Hall. He summoned Yan Xiu and the others and gave them some instructions. Then, he went to Yao Ruoxian's place to collect some things before leaving on his own.
He had to get to Wood Traversing Palace as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Overlord arrived before him, he wouldn't wait for a mere Hall Master like him. If he really delayed him, Cheng Aofang would probably punish him.
He didn't bring a follower either. How could Miao Yi have a follower in front of the Overlord? He could only be a follower.
When he arrived at Wood Traversing Palace and met Cheng Aofang, he found out that the Overlord, Yue Tianbo, would probably arrive tomorrow. Miao Yi didn't have any complaints. Since Yue Tianbo was coming personally, he naturally had to wait in advance. Otherwise, what would happen if he came at the wrong time? He stayed the night in Wood Traversing Palace's side courtyard.
The next morning, Miao Yi entered the palace again. Not long after meeting Cheng Aofang, Zhuang Youwen arrived as well. Only then did Miao Yi realize that the other person Cheng Aofang brought was Zhuang Youwen.
Zhuang Youwen was a little surprised to see that the other person was Miao Yi. Bo Yan and Shang Liuhuan didn't respond, so he thought Cheng Aofang would bring a handmaiden along. He didn't expect it to be Miao Yi.
With the Overlord coming, even Cheng Aofang didn't dare to be careless. She didn't dare to wait in the room. Instead, she led Zhuang Youwen and Miao Yi up to the palace's cloud pavilion, occasionally looking in the direction of the capital city.
They waited from dawn until noon. Suddenly, Zhuang Youwen pointed in the direction of the capital city and shouted, "Palace Lord, the Overlord is coming."
Cheng Aofang hurriedly rushed out of the pavilion to look. Miao Yi also looked in the direction with widened eyes. Unfortunately, her cultivation was too low, and her vision couldn't compare to Zhuang Youwen's transcendence vision. It was only several breaths later that she saw a black dot flying over from afar.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was several zhang long. It was a spirit bird with a wingspan of several tens of feet. It was a Azure Cloud Spirit Sparrow covered in green feathers. It had a graceful figure and no other colors could be seen on its body. When it flew over the Wood Traversing Palace, it let out a long metallic clang.
Swish swish swish! Cheng Aofang was the first to take to the skies, followed by Miao Yi and Zhuang Youwen. However, Miao Yi's speed was clearly slower than the other two. Even though he had started at the same time as Zhuang Youwen, the gap between them had widened by a large margin in the blink of an eye.
Several people stood on the back of the Azure Cloud Spiritual Sparrow that was hovering in the air. Although Yue Tianbo's appearance was ordinary, his temperament was elegant. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an imposing aura. Two stunning beauties stood behind him on both sides. They were his personal handmaidens, Chang Huan and Chang Le. Their expressions were gentle and tranquil, as if they had come out of a painting.
There was another person behind. It was none other than one of the three Advisors under Yue Tianbo's command. He was the one Miao Yi had returned from the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade and announced his name in the golden hall — Feng Ze. Behind Feng Ze stood two old men. They were also two of the six Deacons of the Fifth Earthly Branch. One of them was called Zhu Shangpo, and the other Yan Ziqiu.
"Greetings, Overlord!" Cheng Aofang and Zhuang Youwen, who was standing on the left, hovered in the air and bowed.
Yue Tianbo's gaze fell on Cheng Aofang's face and he smiled. Just as he was about to raise his hand to excuse himself, someone else came up from below and cupped his fists, interrupting him. "Greetings, Overlord!"
This voice was abrupt. At the very least, it forced Yue Tianbo's words back down his throat. Yue Tianbo's outstretched hand froze in midair.
The newcomer was none other than Miao Yi, who had just caught up. He filled in the empty seat on the right behind Cheng Aofang and bowed.
Cheng Aofang and Zhuang Youwen instinctively turned to look at him. They were speechless. How could they have forgotten that this guy's cultivation was on the low side? They had left him behind and forgotten to coordinate their movements.
Miao Yi himself didn't think much of it. He didn't realize that he had blocked Yue Tianbo's words, and it wasn't convenient for him to stare at Yue Tianbo. Thus, he didn't notice Yue Tianbo's outstretched hand.
When Yue Tianbo saw him, he was a little surprised. His gaze fell on the Red Lotus of the First Grade on Miao Yi's forehead, and he looked at Cheng Aofang in surprise. He didn't know why Cheng Aofang had brought a Red Lotus cultivator with her, but he still waved his hand and said, "At ease. Follow me."
"Thank you, Overlord!" This time, the three of them spoke in unison. They circled around the Azure Cloud Spiritual Sparrow and landed behind it.
Cheng Aofang had filled in the empty seat on the right behind Yue Tianbo, and was now in the same group as Feng Ze. Naturally, Miao Yi and Zhuang Youwen were in the last row.
The Azure Cloud Spiritual Sparrow flapped its wings again and quickly took to the skies. Carrying so many people didn't seem to affect its speed in the slightest. In the blink of an eye, it had left the Wood Traversing Palace far behind.
"Elder Auntie, Little Auntie." Cheng Aofang bowed to the two girls behind Yue Tianbo.
Chang Huan and Chang Le turned back with a smile, while Cheng Aofang, Feng Ze, and the others nodded to each other in greeting.
"Greetings, Elder Auntie, Little Auntie, Advisor Feng, and Deacons!" Miao Yi was extremely busy. It didn't matter if he knew them or not. He figured that following behind Zhuang Youwen was the right choice.
Chang Huan, Chang Le, Feng Ze, and the others had all seen Miao Yi in the golden hall before. They couldn't help but give him a few more glances, wondering why Cheng Aofang had brought this' Traitor Miao 'along.
Even though the Great Hall Master Miao's cultivation wasn't all that impressive — barely enough to fly around in the sky — there were quite a number of important figures who knew him. Almost all of the upper echelons of the Fifth Earthly Branch had seen him before, including the ten Palace Lords of the Fifth Earthly Branch. Needless to say, the hundred Hall Masters of the Fifth Earthly Branch had all ganged up on him before. In short, they didn't just know each other by sight, but by the infamous' Traitor Miao '.
She wondered if Miao Yi would feel honored. Most of the Hall Masters didn't even know what the Overlord and the others looked like.
Yue Tianbo's voice transmission suddenly rang in Cheng Aofang's ears, "Fang 'er, this Miao Yi's cultivation is only at the Red Lotus First Grade. Why did you think of bringing him along?"
'Tsk tsk. If Miao Yi heard this, he should indeed feel proud. The Fifth Earthly Branch Supremes could call out his name the moment they saw him.'
Cheng Aofang naturally understood the Overlord's meaning. Currently, aside from Miao Yi, everyone standing on the Azure Cloud Spiritual Sparrow's back had a cultivation at the Purple Lotus realm and above. It was inevitable that they would be surprised if she brought Miao Yi along. She immediately transmitted her voice back, "Overlord, there has never been a good banquet or a good meeting between the six nations. If something really happens, an additional Purple Lotus cultivator might not be of much use. Furthermore, this guy is quite capable. Having a useful head by his side might be more useful than having an additional Purple Lotus cultivator. In any case, it's better to bring him along just in case."
Yue Tianbo nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. He probably knew more about Miao Yi's abilities than Cheng Aofang did. It was just that there were some things that he couldn't tell Cheng Aofang.
Just think about it. If even the Governor under his command, Lan Hou, knew about Miao Yi's situation in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, how could Yue Tianbo not know about it? Without Yue Tianbo's approval, Lan Hou wouldn't have cooperated with the Chamber of Commerce to investigate the case or even kill someone in the Fifth Earthly Branch. Lan Hou would naturally report everything he knew to Yue Tianbo. However, this matter involved the Realm Beyond Heaven, so only he and Lan Hou knew about it. It wasn't convenient for the news to spread.
In fact, Yue Tianbo was a little displeased that the Celestial Sage had secretly mobilized his subordinates without informing them beforehand and sent them to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea to carry out a secret mission. If it were Cheng Aofang secretly mobilizing Miao Yi's subordinates without informing him beforehand, Miao Yi would be displeased as well. 'What are you trying to do?
I don't care how many people you're mobilizing, or how high or low their cultivation is. In any case, the Celestial Sage is mobilizing my subordinates without telling me. What are you trying to do? You're already giving orders to your subordinates, so what's the point of having me as the Fifth Earthly Branch's Overlord? ' Unfortunately, the matter involved Granny Tao at the time, and Granny Tao had her own style in the Fifth Earthly Branch. She was in cahoots with Mu Fanjun, so Yue Tianbo couldn't really say anything about it. No matter what he said, Granny Tao would just say that it was her own idea and that it had nothing to do with the Celestial Sage.
Yue Tianbo was quite surprised that Miao Yi had gotten himself involved in such a huge matter, and had even managed to infiltrate Tempest Tavern and become the Lady Boss's trusted aide. Not only that, but he was also the infamous' Niu Er '. Not only that, he even managed to escape alive after the incident. Furthermore, based on Cheng Aofang's feedback, Yue Tianbo realized that Miao Yi was indeed a capable man. He definitely wasn't just lucky.
It was just that Miao Yi's cultivation was too low. At Yue Tianbo's level, it would be difficult for him to accomplish anything without a corresponding cultivation. Who knew how long it would take for Miao Yi's cultivation to improve? Otherwise, he would have transferred Miao Yi to Yue Tianbo's side a long time ago. He wouldn't even have to wait for Cheng Aofang to poach him from Wood Traversing Palace.
Miao Yi's level was too low, so he didn't know what was going on at the top. He was just like a chess piece. Wherever someone picked him up and placed him, he could only risk his life there. If he could make a name for himself, then so be it. If he couldn't, then he would've died. He had no choice.
Of course, risk and opportunity always came hand in hand. Some people didn't even have the qualifications to become a chess piece just for the sake of that opportunity. Even if they cried and begged for someone to use them as a chess piece, the higher-ups might not even bother with them, because it was useless! 'What do they need you for?'
At this moment, Miao Yi looked at the howling winds and clouds around him. He couldn't help but feel glad that he had such a great bird as his mount. Otherwise, it would be too much of a stretch for him to keep up with the others with his cultivation. One could imagine how awkward it must have been for Tao Qingli as a Palace Lord …
The clouds were fleeting, and the rivers and mountains stretched for thousands of miles. Day and night, the mortals of the mortal world were busy, while the Immortals patrolled the skies on their sparrows.
After a day's journey, the Azure Cloud Spirit Sparrow finally arrived at the Boundless Nation's Exquisite Refinement Sect territory.
Miao Yi didn't know what kind of transcendent artifacts they were, but they were fluttering in the air. Guests could see them from afar, so they wouldn't get lost. Following the directions, they descended and landed on a flat ground that was half a mountain and half a city.
Yue Tianbo and the others jumped down from the Azure Cloud Spirit Sparrow's back. Then, Yue Tianbo suddenly took out a large pouch and opened it up, immediately storing the Azure Cloud Spirit Sparrow inside.
Miao Yi was surprised. What a high-grade beast pouch! It could actually swallow such a large object. It wasn't that a normal beast pouch couldn't contain the Azure Cloud Spirit Sparrow, it was just that its swallowing capacity was limited, so it couldn't be stored inside.
